Description:
Created by Cathbodua for her own use and originally designed as a way to handle and teach problem padawans. The Dark Lady of the order kept and rarely uses her lightwhip preferring to not enter combat unless she has to as her whip guides snapped in a fight. Rendering the whip unusable for a time. Slowly as she worked the whip was fixed with stronger guide wires laced with tiny focusing crystals to guide it and the circuits were changed to non dimetris to prevent overloading them when in contact with cortosis.

With the small weave in the wires it was given to the saber a spool system to retract and eject the wires quickly so the saber could activate. A trapped grip to prevent others from using it and abusing the special crystals she worked to find. The grip will release a dibilitating shock to the system as well as work to improve the healing capabilities and force focus of the jedi knight when she holds it. The dangerous parts of the whip are the nine tails of it able to make massive and dangerous attacks with a long reach.

The whip itself is a small amalgamation of different things the jedi knight has done or found a use for. The special hilt formed from a rare material that slowly hardens into something near unbreakable over time serves to to not break as easily if there is feedback and damage like happened previously. The small polished shard from a healing crystal of fire found by Matsu Ike and Rianna then stored on Zygerria in the medical center. The crystal aids and improves her stamina while healing.

The amber with golden tint giving her blade color and is attuned to the force and jedi knight. Making her connection to her weapon greater. The Pontite Adegan, is the more important as it is able to sooth the skin and temper with the jedi healer or those close enough to her. (personal space bubble). The crystals connection to the force and soothing aura allows Cathbodua to focus more and remain level headed within hectic situations. For more connection finally there are micronized slivers of kyber within the hilt of the saber to minorly increase the resonance with herself and the weapon.

Weaknesses:
However, lightwhips featured just as many drawbacks as advantages. Unless the wielder was already a master with ordinary whips, a lightwhip blade was difficult to control, able to just as easily maim an untrained wielder as an opponent, and was weaker than the standard lightsaber blade as it could not always penetrate durasteel armor or walls, and many substances could survive from a direct hit. It needed to be swung wide to gain momentum for attack, and it was difficult to use defensively as flexible tassels are not well suited for parrying, leaving the wielder vulnerable to both great speed and brute force. In fact, lightwhip blades were even known to short out violently when struck with enough force.
